Upshaw done for the season

[Longrifle28]

Thank you Mr. Upshaw for sticking with it and giving your all for Appalachian State.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Terrance and thanking you for everything you gave to the Mountaineer family. Will miss seeing you on the field for sure.

I hate to see any young athlete get injured like this, especially a young man who has shown the character that Upshaw has shown during his time at App. He got himself in a bind (academics) but kept his chin up and did the work necessary to work his way back into good standing. He's been a significant contributor whenever he has been on the field and he will be missed. My best wishes and prayers are with him as he finishes his degree and begins the rest of his life!

Echo everything you guys have said. Really tough way to go out. Best of luck to this young man.

[AtlAppMan]

Terrence, you have demonstrated the best of what we all hope Appalachian is all about. You have faced difficult and challenging times and have confronted them with honor and dignity. You played your heart out at all times when on the field. You make me proud. I know this is not how you wanted your App playing days to end but with the character you have demonstrated I am sure you will have a tremendous future in where ever you choose to take it. Godspeed on your physical recovery and I a sure you will be very successful in your career.

Pardon me for "double dipping" here, but I just want to add an additional comment. In today's environment, the norm seems to be that talented young athletes who run into tough situations look for an easy alternative. Competition is tough and they aren't getting enough playing time, or academics are challenging. The easy answer is to transfer somewhere that won't push you....where the competition is less and you can be a star with less effort. I'm not judging these young men because each case is different and they are entitled to make their own decision. I just want to point out that T. Upshaw had both those situations and he chose the path or working THROUGH his issue. He worked as a member of the TEAM and played his role when Marcus Cox became the "star"...and then Moore. He has set an invaluable example and I hope he knows how much he is appreciated for that.

Also, I believe his degree is in building sciences which is not a cupcake at all. Good job batting back from that.

This news really sucks, just no other way to say it. Hope he recovers fully and quickly and finishes his degree.

Terrence Upshaw showed us what it means to be a mountaineer. He never quits. He pushes through adversity on and off the field. He will achieve much in the challenges of life. Just proud he decided to be an Appalachian State football player and will soon be an alum of our university. He gave his all to App State! Well done young man.

[MtnMan09]

Its a shame on so many levels. He has been the better runner this year and he worked hard to get back. Not sure that Jailin can do this by himself from what I've seen this year.
